  1. No Name Fire, a cool looking patch type that could be an Akro IMHO. Wierd base glass--is it opal? Marble--On!!
  2. Nice marble Gladys. It looks hand-gathered to me. The two images on the left, the bottom one--- I think may be a pinch pontil. No ID from me. Marble--On!!
  3. OK, I was close and will step up to the plate. Here is something new to the blurry game—a blurry under UV light. I used one of those cool pocket UV lights that Steph had posted about, glued a plastic marble holder on the top ring and here is the result. Good luck and marble—On!!
  4. Welcome ----"back" browncat73. I hope that you are on the mend and I wish you a swift recovery. I will say Champion but I suck at WVS ID. All opinions are needed here. Marble--On!!

    Join the club my friend--why do you think that we need more images? Bring them on!! Marble--On!!
  6. Sorry Lastfling I spelled out Corn when it should have been Carnelian. I am a Cornelian freak and it shows😁. marble--On!!
  7. Nice batch Jzoook6. I just love the Akro marbles--these look very nice--great image as well!! Marble--On!!
  8. These I would call Jabo--- Of course all opinions are welcomed and appreciated. Marble--On!!
  9. I cannot make out what it says on the bottom. Maybe @wvrons will give his opinion here. He has a nice collection of both makers. Braun and Corwin or the like is a nice find for sure. Marble--On!!
  10. This is a tuff one, it almost looks foriegn but older. If I had to choose between the two choices--Akro. Marble--On!!
  11. Silver Oxbloods? nice!! Marble--On!!
  12. This one is an Akro Carnelian. The rest may just be "Ringers" or "Imperials" The thumb pot may be Alley—or Akro—nice find regardless. Marble—On!!
  13. The first two sets of images I do not recognize at all—WVS?? The third set looks like either Vacor “Werewolves” if brown based—Possible “Thunderbolts’ if black based. The rest I would call jabo. All opinions are welcomed and needed. Marble—On!!
  14. You did well this year for sure hrjane. This is just a great job of hunting these addictive little orbs. They all stick out to me for one reason or another. It is great to see that they are still “Out There”. I----Love—just love the “Bricks”. Keep the images coming!!! Marble---On!!!
  15. Yes, this is an Akro corkscrew—not a slag, WVS or any other. One image looks like it has a signature---eyelashes that look to say AA to me—😍. This one is 5/8” and would be a hard ID for those new to the hobby/addiction and I do not blame them for selling it so cheap in the lot that it came with---😘. The last set of images is for @Fire1981. Backlight them all and hit them with some UV while you are at it—you just never know until you do. Marble--On!!
  16. Well--Maybe not UV--great image though--I concede--Jabo!! Marble--On!!

    I agree--more of that one for sure!! Marble--On!!
  18. Good question Fire and I hope you get a good answer from someone besides me. This is worth a bump--and I agree that they are of the same age as you state--there may be one or three Vitros in the bunch though. Marble--On!!
  19. Frosted at best imho. Vacor did this quite well. Don't do it Mojo!! Marble--On!!
  20. I just have to say this--The OP looks like it reacting to UV very heavy for a Jabo--Nuf said. Marble--On!!
  21. Here you go Gladys, some washed out Popeye’s. I got these in the same lot on a day that I will never forget. I placed a bid early on 9/11 and forgot about them for a few days. Marbles were not on my mind that day but life went on and there they came. I figure with both the reds and the greens washed out like they were --- that they may have been a later run of Popeye’s—not near as vibrant as the originals. These are just my thoughts. I had some blue and yellow that looked pretty “normal” and a red white and blue that I will always cherish that came in the same lot. Lots of Popeye’s on a very bad day but life does go on! Marble On!!! And respect to all of those that lost their lives and loved ones on 9/11.
  22. Nice group Gladys. I have a few of those washed out green ones--wierd little buggers. Marble--On!!
  23. Nice group Mojo, The Ajax are killer. Here is a link that has some discussion about them. https://marbleconnection.com/topic/23752-nice-vintage-foreign-mibs/ Marble--On!!
